Fallback support was intentionally removed in 9908512968,
because it was deemed OK to do so.
It turns out that Element iOS still doesn't properly do user mentions
(and likely never will, until Element X replaces it), so we can't just
drop the fallback user mentions logic without affecting all these
clients. It's possible that the Element Android is no better (unverified claim).
This actually fixes 2 issues.

When people enable transcribe-only mode and the bot replies outside of a
thread, messages will no longer look like this: `> 🦻 Transcribed text`.
Instead, they will:
- look like this: `Transcribed text`
- get an emoji reaction (🦻) sent by the bot itself,
to indicate that the message is a transcription
---------------------------------------
As https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/14 discusses,
the `> 🦻` prefixing of messages also served the purpose of indicating
to the bot that this is not its own message, but rather something it
"heard" from a user.
Given that out-of-thread replies no longer include this, they could be
mistaken for bot messages.
Because transcribed messages are posted as notice messages, we can
easily tell them apart from regular text-generated messages by the bot
itself, so we can (and do) treat them differently.
Thankfully, the bot does not yet support building a text-generation
conversation from arbitrary messages (something discussed in
https://github.com/etkecc/baibot/issues/15), so these out-of-thread
replies having the wrong owner are not an issue for now.
If we do land support for this, we'll probably need to make the bot inspect such notice messages
posted by it, inspect their reactons and attribute them properly (🦻 -> user message).
